Hi there,
When I started Lamictal six weeks ago, I began by splitting off the tiniest segments of a 25mg pill- probably around 4mg or less, daily for one week, then a week at roughly double,and then simply halving the pill, amounting to 12.5mg (which has given great results so far).
It was so tempting to go higher sooner, but being sensitive to the tiniest amounts of all AD's and their side-effects, I'd learned my
lesson.
It was worth the painstaking titration in my case- you could try re-introducing lamictal in smaller doses, keeping a wary eye for signs of rash (this has worked in various trials apparently)- you can get it in 5mg, or even 2mg strengths too.
Good luck,Col.
